The Young Girls of Rochefort
I think it's sad that Françoise Dorleac died so young, she was probably better than her sis

Only seen The Umbrellas Of Cherbourg, but it jumped into my top 100 with just one viewing.

Seen only Umbrellas - liked it quite a bit, didn't love it. Very much want to see more Demy though.

The Young Girls of Rochefort
The Umbrellas of Cherbourg
Lola
The Bay of Angels
Un Chambre en Ville

Significant drop off after the second, but the last three are pretty close, somewhere in the B, B- range, as opposed to A and A- for the first two respectively.

Can't wait to see Donkey Skin.
